My self-imposed reading fast continues. But I’m getting hungry. There have been a few times that I’ve almost fallen off the wagon, but so far I’ve held strong. Knowing myself as I do, I know that I will go through periods during next year that I can’t stand the thought of reading. And in order to head off at least one of those, I am trying not to read much of anything between now and January 1. So far it is proving rather difficult. There are books calling to me, demanding that I read them. But I’m just leaving them where they sit, focusing on other things instead.

Two more weeks and I can get back to doing what I love to do. It can’t come soon enough!

This is the calm before the storm. I am posting little here these days. I am posting little because I am reading little. The way my brain works is that for a month or two it craves reading and I devour just about everything I can squeeze into my day. And then my brain gets full (or something) and I have to take some time off to let things settle. Because I won’t be able to afford many of those times off next year, I have decided to try to read as little as possible through December. I hope this will head off at least one of those binge/purge cycles that most heavy readers can identify with.

I am looking forward to seeing this project begin. Three weeks and counting…
